Areola Restoration

Those who have had surgery for breast cancer may be considering treatment for areola restoration, commonly known as areola or a nipple tattooing.

This procedure is for patients who have had breast reconstruction after a mastectomy or lumpectomy.

The procedure of areola restoration is usually a “finishing touch” to a breast reconstruction.

It is a process of applying a cosmetic micro pigmentation technique to recreate the areola and nipple. After undergoing mastectomy, it is common for a woman to feel emotionally distressed from a scarred areola.

Such a procedure of restoring a natural beauty of the breast helps to regain confidence and emotional balance.

Medical tattooing is a fast and simple procedure.

Custom formulas of colors are mixed to match the color of the nipple and areola to create a realistic effect.

After a unilateral mastectomy, the areola and nipple are reconstructed to match the natural one.

For patients with bilateral breast reconstruction, both areolas are pigmented.

Colors are always customized to create most natural results possible. Shapes and colors of areolas and nipples are thoroughly discussed with the patient prior to procedure.
